Chapter 178: My Country

It is an eternal truth that every city, big or small, has a street famous for its food.

Naturally, there is such a street in Anzhou, which was originally paved with large stones, and was called Dashi Street. Later, it was full of snack bars, and it was called 'Big Food Street'.

The small shops are connected together, the boss or the proprietress stands at the door enthusiastically, as long as someone passes by, they smile and beckon: "Do you want to eat, the small shop has ......"

Even if passers-by don't come to eat, the smiles of the bosses will not be reduced by half a point, and the enthusiasm will never linger like the fragrance wafting here.

It was the first time for the ninth princess to come to this kind of place where she felt that she was very 'out of the stream' to eat, and the bowl in front of her had a small opening, but the brush was very clean, and the chopsticks were scalded with hot water. The spicy and fragrant skewers and delicious soup soup are appetizing.

At the beginning, the ninth princess was still very careful to use chopsticks to pick up the meat on the skewers, and sandwiched small pieces into her mouth. Later, when she saw Qin Fei feasting, and other diners were drinking in large bowls and eating meat, she couldn't help it, so she simply let go of eating and drinking, and a few small sesame seeds were stained on the corners of her mouth, which looked extremely interesting.

"Look at what you're eating, hahaha!" Qin Fei laughed wildly: "It's a pity that there are no mirrors here, otherwise let you see for yourself, the chili powder and sesame seeds are stuck to your face." ”

The ninth princess looked pale, looked left and right, and saw that others didn't care about her, so she hurriedly took out a small handkerchief and wiped it the corner of her mouth.

Qin Fei gloated and smiled: "I can't wipe it clean, here, there is still a sesame ......"

As he spoke, Qin Fei's fingers had already reached over, wanting to pinch off the sesame seed on the ninth princess's cheeks. Looking at the big hand that was about to touch her face, the Ninth Princess, who originally wanted to avoid it, didn't know why, she was confused for a while, and subconsciously moved her face closer. As soon as his fingers touched his slippery skin, Qin Fei's heart couldn't help but flutter, and he immediately gathered his mind, dropped the sesame seed, picked up the soup bowl, and said in a loud voice: "Drink soup, drink soup." ”

"Well, drink the soup!" The Ninth Princess secretly glanced at Qin Fei, feeling a little shy, and almost buried her face in the soup bowl.

There is never a shortage of customers in the big food street, but today there seem to be more people on the street than usual. The bosses, who were used to doing business, also noticed that something was wrong, and there were many people on the street, and they all looked familiar. If nothing else, these people will come to the store next to the store on the fifteenth day of the new year to collect protection money, and nine times out of ten, they will not give money when they come to eat. One day, when you are in a good mood and enjoy a few copper plates, it will be a great creation for the bosses.

Seeing that these people are gradually starting to gather in the big food street, some timid bosses are already ready to close their doors!

Qin Fei put down the soup bowl, seemed to sense this strange atmosphere, and said with a smile: "I have a fun thing, do you want to see it?" ”

"What is it?"

Qin Fei looked around the restaurant and saw a boy with pigtails sitting at the counter holding an abacus and playing. Qin Fei's heart moved, and he beckoned to the child. The children in the store are used to seeing customers every day, so how can they be afraid of life? The little boy came over with an abacus in his arms, looking at Qin Fei with big black and white eyes, and learning the tone of an adult with his little brain on his side: "What do you want from the guest officer?" ”

"I don't want anything." Qin Fei took out a small paper tube from his arms: "Have you ever seen fireworks?" ”

"I've seen it, it looks good when I put it up. Dad said that fireworks are very expensive, let me put one during the Chinese New Year, and I am usually not allowed to buy them. The little boy looked at the paper tube in Qin Fei's hand, sucked his saliva, and said with a blank eye.

"Then, will my brother give you this firework?" Qin Fei touched his pigtail and said with a smile: "Take it to the door and put it." ”

"Thank you, brother." The little boy took the fireworks with a smile, took a piece of charcoal, ran to the tethered horse stake outside the store, put the fireworks on it, then lit it, ran away two steps, squatted on the ground, and waited nervously for the fireworks to be released.

'Bang', the fireworks exploded suddenly, dozens of sparks soared into the sky, and then exploded into petals little by little, brilliant in the sky, and gradually disappeared after a while. Many passers-by stopped to watch and thought it was very beautiful.

"Fuck, whose puppies are littering? Scared Lao Tzu. A man scolded.

The little boy hurried back to the store, he didn't dare to offend the man. He remembered the man's appearance, and on the fifteenth day of every month, as soon as he came to the store, his parents would tremble with fear.

Shopkeeper Kong also carried his hands with great interest, looked at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, and asked lightly: "Isn't it a festival today?" ”

"The kid secretly took the fireworks and set them off." The attendant next to him said, "I don't know if it's left over from the New Year." ”

"I haven't seen fireworks for a long time...... shopkeeper Kong sighed a little lonely. With his net worth, even if he buys a few big cars of fireworks, it is not a problem to keep putting them from morning to night, but when people are old, there are always things that cannot be done, and there are always pursuits that have to be done.

"Shopkeeper, the dog man and woman are out." The attendant whispered.

Shopkeeper Kong looked at Qin Fei and the Ninth Princess who came out of the door of the store, and his eyes suddenly lit up, how heroic the men in the Northland are, but they lack Qin Fei's unruly domineering spirit, the Northland women are tall and plump, but they are far from the meaning of the Nine Princesses' hidden needles. People, who are accustomed to seeing the surroundings, always like fresh, which is also human nature. The pair of men and women in front of them are really golden boys and girls, which are really eye-catching.

"The old rule, salute first and then soldier." Shopkeeper Kong commanded and walked over.

Qin Fei and the Ninth Princess had just walked out of the hotel, and they met the middle-aged man with a faint scar on his face, and he was accompanied by dozens of people, who were fierce and brave, and their skills were definitely not mediocre.

"Let's talk, young man." Shopkeeper Kong smiled and said, "I am Kong Zhang, the shopkeeper of Hexinglong. ”

"And Xinglong?" The Ninth Princess frowned and said, "Cloth seller or meat seller?" ”

"What a bold woman, and Xinglong's name was humiliated by you at will?" Kong Zhang didn't speak, and the attendant beside him had already drunk this sentence for his master.

Kong Zhang smiled and shook his head, there were fewer people on the street, and there were not many Anzhou people who saw that the shopkeeper of He Xinglong was here, and they dared to watch, and the shops were closed one after another, and even the money of the guests was no longer needed, so they just wanted to close the door immediately, so as not to cause trouble.

"Hexinglong, it's not a store, it's a trade name." Kong Zhang talked about the ancestral foundation, his face was a little more proud, and he said leisurely: "Young man, you and my subordinates have some conflicts today. He Xinglong is a local snake, and he doesn't want to bully you outsiders, so you can turn big things into small things. I think you have good skills, you should be from a famous family, dare to ask your Excellency? ”

Isn't this the bottom line? Qin Fei smiled slightly, and said honestly: "My master is not a famous family. There is only one master, but I haven't seen him for many years, and there is a cheeky senior sister and a senior brother who is full of nonsense. As for my skills, I can barely get by. ”

"You're humble." Kong Zhang smiled: "In my opinion, if you can defeat my four subordinates in a moment, you should already be a nine-rank master." Heroes come out of teenagers, and they don't deceive me. ”

The ninth princess wrinkled her nose, what kind of eyes are these? Nine products? That was a long time ago.

"Maybe the shopkeeper Kong is wrong, at this time last year, I was only on the sixth grade." Qin Fei said seriously.

Kong Zhang saw that Qin Fei's face was sincere, his tone was serious, not like nonsense, and then he looked at the girl, obviously very surprised when he said Jiupin to himself, and couldn't help but hate several of his subordinates. Bastard, last year, on the sixth grade, after a year, it was only the eighth grade. The four of them were knocked over by one person, it shouldn't be that the opponent is too powerful, but that they are too stupid. Since the destruction of the new Shenghe, the days of Hexinglong are too comfortable, these subordinates have been abandoned for a long time, the road of martial arts, if you don't advance, you will retreat, it seems that you will have to train them well in the future.

"You're an outlander? What to do in Anju? Kong Zhang asked.

"Alas, I'm the one who came to carry the black cauldron." Qin Fei sighed.

Kong Zhang stopped going around the bend, knowing that it was just a low-handed man in front of him, and the division was also a pile of shit, so his original worry suddenly decreased a lot, and he said lightly: "You injured my four subordinates, and Xinglong is a well-known name in Anzhou, and the golden signboard is not allowed to be insulted." However, I don't want to deceive people too much, so you take out 5,000 taels of silver as compensation, and the matter will be written off, otherwise it will ......."

"Otherwise, it's fine!" Qin Fei smiled and said, "I'm really afraid that you only need money, otherwise what?" ”

"Don't you want to leave Anzhou alive?" Kong Zhang's expression was fierce and he shouted in a low voice.

"Anzhou is a place where there is a king's law." Qin Fei hugged his arms and said neatly: "He Xinglong is a big brand, so what?" There is no government office in Anzhou? No more Governor's Palace? No more prosecutors' chambers? ”

Qin Fei's gaze swept along the big food street, there were not many people on the street, but there were two officials with knives standing at the intersection, those two people were holding knives on their waists, their expressions were serious, and they were paying close attention to the dynamics here.

Qin Fei stretched out his hand and pointed: "There are two officials there, you and Xinglong have the courage to do it in front of the officials?" Isn't it too much to take Wang Fa in his eyes? ”

Kong Zhang smiled coldly, there was no need to answer this kind of thing by himself. The attendant beside him shouted proudly: "Blind your dog's eyes, those two officials are here for us and Xinglong." In Anju, Hexinglong is also a government government. ”

"After dark, I'll have the final say!" Kong Zhang said in a low voice: "Young man, this is my place, my world, and my kingdom. ”

"Say a lot of disrespect." Qin Fei said.

"Can be judged to be rebellious!" The Ninth Princess coldly set the tone.
